ALLEN PARK — Reggie Bush is 1-0 in NFC North games as a Lions’ running back, so obviously there’s no other place he’d rather be on Sunday than on the field as the Detroit Lions play the Chicago Bears.

All signs point to that happening.

Bush, who sat out Sunday at Washington with a knee injury, practiced full-go on Wednesday.

“It was good, I felt like it’s been forever it’s only been a week,’’ Bush said. “It was good to get back in there today, just get back into the swing of things, get my feet back underneath me, and just start to lay out this foundation to get ready for the Chicago Bears.

“Obviously it’s a big game, a divisional opponent, we have our work cut out for us this week,’’ Bush said of the Bears.

A win could tie the Lions (2-1) with the Bears (3-0) atop the division.

After the opening week win over the MInnesota Vikings, the Lions are 1-0 against division foes. Bush had 90 yards rushing and 101 receiving yards in that win.

While running back Joique Bell was solid filling in for Bush, the Lions need Bush back especially with wide receiver Nate Burleson out with a broken arm.

Bush can line up as a receiver in the slot or on the outside. He expects he might get more work in the slot with Burleson out.

“But we have other receivers — (Ryan) Broyles, (Micheal) Spurlock, (Pat) Edwards, other guys, they have to step up and they will,’’ Bush said. “Those are guys who have experienced and are going to play well. ... No one is panicked. I think everyone feels like we’re in a good spot and we’ll be OK.’’

Bush was on the sidelines during the Redskins game trying to help Bell.

“Joique played really well. I was in his ear the whole game constantly reminding him of whatever situation we were in at the time,’’ Bush said. “I didn’t have to do much, he played well.’’

Bush expected he would play in that game. He practiced on a limited basis last Friday and was listed as questionable going into the game.

“It’s not just my decision, coaches have to feel comfortable, doctors have to feel comfortable, trainers have to feel comfortable,’’ Bush said. “It’s a collective decision to decide I’m ready to play or not. They felt like last week I could sit out and still get the win. The most important thing is getting the win.’’
